It turned out that a remnant of a failed job on ibiblio prevented new books from being properly ingested, automatically cataloged, and listed.
I think this is now fixed, and the latest books will appear at the top of the next hour (1am EST Sunday). ~ Greg

Hi folks. The ibiblio admins were able to get the needed fixed in place, and we are back in production.
Statistics (top 10/100 and pages that rely on them) should catch up on Sunday.
Please let me know of any anomalies. ~ Greg

Hi friends. FYI we have a partial website outage that might persist until after the weekend.
The UNC iBiblio nameserver isn't working right, and their domain registrar needs to help fix it.
Last night, I manually made some updates to use IP addresses rather than hostnames. That got searches and landing pages up again.
Our statistics (top 10 etc.) will remain broken because we cannot get our log files. Database backups, including the frequent synchronization to pglaf.org (used for some of our posting activities) are failing. I'll try to put some more workarounds in place today, but I don't have administrative access to our servers so am limited in what I can do.
I'm updating the message on the main page of https://www.gutenberg.org.
We can continue to push new books and errata, but automated cataloging will probably not work and the cataloger's interface probably won't work. We might need to repush once things are fixed. If it looks like newly pushed titles are dysfunctional, we might need to pause those. Let's see what happens with our next new push...
